To be fair, she said the feds need to bring people back OR turn over the real estate to more productive uses.

In all my time in DC, I’ve never encountered this “talent” in DC government of which Falcicchio speaks.

IMO even shooting the shit has value, in the form of building stronger relationships with your colleagues. Maybe it’s because I work for a smallish organization, but I’ve always found it helpful to find common interests with people whose roles are very different from mine and who I may only interact with a few times a year. It makes the work we do together easier and more productive.

100% agree. I feel like most of what would have been a solid 10 hours of goofing off with coworkers and water cooler gossip in a pre-covid work week gets compressed into the 2-3 days I’m in office, rendering those days essentially pointless lol

My on campus day is 90% shooting the sh*t with everyone who's in. It's nice to see folks and chat and occasionally even discuss something work related for a few minutes, but it's mostly sports, kids, pre-retirement plans, tv shows, traffic woes. I end up more stressed because I get hardly anything accomplished for the 3 hour roundtrip drive.

They have been at a new location for years that is bright, sterile and not inviting at all. The old location was amazing the new one is trash.

Then find a way to make it efficient? The next generation workforce will not be in some stuffy govt cubicle. The sooner we embrace that fact the better Dc will be.

People are not going to get DC locality pay if they are working fully remote elsewhere. That will never happen.

Agreed with one caveat. You have to be in the locality pay of the office twice per pay period. If you live in the same locality area as the office working from home, the point is moot, you can be 100% at home and get locality.

Oh trust me I thought of that the minute it was too late. He started walking away as soon as I raised my voice with “I dont consent to being filmed” and by then I was just happy he was leaving

Vin sue Vignt is proper French cuisine + wine. Indoors, intimate, good for dates/conversation.
Some tables are close together, though.

You think you're getting "authentic" interactions with federal supervisors in the office? How many years have you been a fed? Zero?

Oh nah fucking weirdo, definitely take a pic next time and shame him. We need to start public shaming creeps - these people post those vids on social media to their private pages

St Vincent has cozy rooms, though it can get busy.

But then she’d have to actually do something instead of talking about doing something.
